Optimizer Plus Webinar

Optimizer Plus IV Meeting

Karla’s Korner

Dear Valued K & K Partners,

I certainly don’t know how 2015

passed so quickly! During the year

we added 9 new customers, com-

pleted 6 Optimizer Plus rebalances

(reducing 10 trucks!), completed 4

company mergers and added 5

new Optimizer Plus customers.

Thanks to everyone that made the

investment for additional training,

whether it was for your ‘Go-To’

persons, drivers, CSR’s, managers

or owners. We made excellent use

of our training lab in 2015 and

expect to use it more in 2016.

We’re planning a 30th anniversary

celebration at our User Meeting

and Conference to be held at a

new venue next summer. We are

finalizing the exact location and

dates and will let you know soon.

Also, be sure to mark your calen-

dar for Optimizer Plus Workshop

IV to be held next April (location

and dates to be determined).

I hope you and your families had

a very happy Thanksgiving!

Successful Training Sessions and Workshops

Thanks to our ‘Valued Partners’ that attended workshops in our training lab,

at the Optimizer Plus meeting or ‘In-the-Field’ driver workshops. All partici-

pants were successfully trained in Energy-Force, Energy-Service, Energy-

Track, Optimizer Plus, initial/specialized areas or customized consulting.

If you were not able to make it this year, please plan to attend in 2016.

Proper training is

invaluable to ensure

Energy-Force is used

effectively for maximum productivity,

efficiency and profitability.

A quick recap this year:

33 sessions/workshops

49 ‘Valued Partners’ attended

263 individuals trained

We are upgrading our training lab

with new chairs and tables so every-

one is more comfortable for two or

more days of training (our investment

is to ensure that everyone’s training is

effective and comfortable).

We plan to have more workshops and

training sessions in 2016 (will be listed

on Energy-Force.com), including

more Webinars (Optimizer Plus/Opti-

Tools webinar planned in December).

In 2015, we welcomed Donahue Gas,

Becks, CHS-Northwest, CHS-

Holdredge, CHS-Carrolton, Wendt’s

Propane, CVA , River Country Coop

and Farmway to the K & K family. Fisher Farm Services also installed over 60 new trucks.

Be sure to attend our User Meeting and Confer-

ence next summer (specific location/details still

being finalized) to thank you for being a Valued

Partner and to celebrate our 30th anniversary!
